perl scripts and what they do

• /var/www/folio/cgi-bin/bibServices/discardItems
  • /discardItem.pl
    • uses DateTime to determine the current month and year
    • GETs totalItems and all barcodes and itemIds associated with the holdingsRecordId
    • if the barcodes match DELETEs via /item-storage/items
    • if totalItems = 1 DELETEs via holdings-storage/holdings
    • GETs totalIHoldings associated with the instanceId
    • if totalHoldings > 0... 
      • writes "$oclc|$title|$callNumber|$mtype|$barcode|$instanceId|$xUser|$thisMonth/$thisYear|\n" to discards.log
    • if totalHoldings = 0...
      
      • GETs the instance from /instance-storage/instances
      • uses regex to mark it as suppressed from discovery and change the status term to discarded
      • PUTs the modified instance to /instance-storage/instances
      • GETs the recordId and DELETEs it (actually: changes deleted: false to deleted: true)
      • writes "$oclc|$title|$callNumber|$mtype|$barcode|$instanceId|$xUser|$thisMonth/$thisYear|\n" to discards.log
      • writes "$oclc|$barcode|" to discards.removeHoldings
  • /removeOCLCholdings.pl 
    • provides a list of OCLC#s so that holdings can be removed from OCLC in batch
  • /scanBarcode.pl - offers a focused text box to scan the barcode of the item to be discarded; posts the barcode to yesORno.pl
  • /yesORno.pl
    • gets all mtype info (id and name) from /material-types
    • gets the holdingsRecordId and materialTypeId form /item-storage/items
    • gets the callNumber and instanceId from /holdings-storage/holdings
    • gets the identifiers and title from /instance-storage/instances
    • if an identifier includes "OCoLC" the option to discard is provided which then POSTs the barcode, callNumber, holdingsRecordId, instanceId, mtype, OCLC#, and title to discardItem.pl
